Entering a New World

My name is Marc Shalom. i am 18 years old currently enrolled in Baruch College as a freshman. I am from Brooklyn, New York and come from a Jewish family. My family and I are very close. I live in a very close community in Brooklyn. Mostly everyone who lives in the area know each other very well. I am just part of that group trying to find my way and defining my life. What i love most at the moment is sports. I’m not sure if that will be my career path but I came to Baruch to find out what is right for me. My concerns in the school right now will have to be handling the workload, the fear of new professors and just adapting to a school where i am not known by everyone. I know that my experience here will include a lot more work than what i had in high school. It is a more serious atmosphere but i do have much more free time on my hands. I hope to utilize this free time. I think my first year of college will make me more mature. I am responsible for what i get done in school. No one will be running after me. It is up to me to make something of what i learn and make my family proud.
